I'll have to take your word for that!
It might do, I was 10 during '98 so I've never really had much in the way of national success (or late runs into tournaments) to hold onto. After the tournaments I've seen in my lifetime I'm honestly happy to just see us turn up and at least try now...
But has no friends due to his odd and disturbing choice.
28 here and the first time I saw Windows 8 I wanted to throw the laptop through the...well...window. I'm not leaving 7 until I absolutely have to.
The Brighton aspect is a good point, I've never thought of it that way. With a fair bit of positivity around the Albion now (unless you come on here after a loss) sporting hope can be placed a bit closer to home.
Maybe I didn't think of that due to age, I don't have the decades (and decades)...
I'd have to disagree with Cahill needing to go, he's not to the level of Terry or Campbell in their England pomp but he's genuinely one of the best centre backs we have (in my opinion anyway).
Edit; Sterling on the bench would be reasonable, if nothing else he'd terrify a tired defence late on.
Neither would I right now, but I could see him become a key part of the national side if the errors are cleaned up.
At the moment he seems to have all the potential in the world, I just want him to end up more like John Terry than Titus Bramble.
He started the season very well though.
Not to say he should be starting for England (or in the squad) right now but there's clearly a very good defender in there.
I can't deny it happens but if any non-tournament result is to be enjoyed then it's probably this one!
Out of interest, what are your minimum expectations of England in the Euros?
The difference for me would be that we don't stand to profit from it, nor would we give the impression that it was a comment we went and asked for ourselves.
Hi! I have a fairly pronounced anti-Liverpool bias (full disclosure and all that) and don't really understand why Henderson is such a fixture at the moment, it feels like he's there because of the team he plays for.
No issue with Lallana though, used to be but I was rightfully corrected.
It's pretty shocking that they're willing to just go steal posts without seeking any sort of permission, especially for those who have their names attached to the comments.
I knew you'd be coming back after I read some of those.
Some are always going to believe in the national team (someone has to) and others might have brief flirtations with the idea but I doubt there are many out there who expect a trophy this summer.
Also, some of those posts only mention now...
It might be time to cut the national side a little slack, that was 15 years ago!
Just had a look at the squad from that night and at least 4 have been club managers since then, 1 is the U21 manager and a lot of the others are now pundits...none are near the national team now. Let the pain go...
So do they just lift comments from forums/twitbook/facer without the poster's knowledge?
I hope that's not the case but what a marvellous way to get free content whilst pretending they had something to do with it.
For fu...WHY?! Even when he's not finding new and interesting ways to avoid actually playing the game he's paid for he's rarely put in a performance worthy of the hype that's surrounded him since he broke through. Especially now we're not looking so lean in the middle and can see what a...
Rooney isn't a great surprise but when did he say that about Wilshere?
Surely it would be borderline impossible to justify it when he's played sod all football (I think) this season and you've got an 'undercard' of players who are actually deserving of it.
